The synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 5 (L-738, 167), a potent, selective non-peptide fibrinogen receptor antagonist is reported. Compound 5 inhibited the aggregation of human gel-filtered platelets with an IC50 value of 8 nM and was found to be > 33000-fold less effective at inhibiting the attachment of human endothelial cells to fibrinogen, fibronectin, and vitronectin than it was at inhibiting platelet aggregation. Ex vivo platelet aggregation was inhibited by > 85% 24 h after the oral administration of 5 to dogs at 100 micrograms/kg. The extended pharmacodynamic profile exhibited by 5 appears to be a consequence of its high-affinity binding to GPIIb/IIIa on circulating platelets and suggests that 5 is suitable for once-a-day dosing.

Tirofiban is a non-peptide selective glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor that reversibly inhibits fibrinogen-dependent platelet aggregation and subsequent formation of thrombi, which contribute to the major atherosclerotic complications in the development, progression, and resolution of ischemic stroke. The adjunctive use of tirofiban has been extensively evaluated in progressive stroke, combined intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), and endovascular treatment (EVT) in both preclinical and clinical studies. A body of evidence has been accumulated on the risks and benefits associated with tirofiban in terms of prevention of stroke progression, stent thrombosis, improvement in functional independence, and mortality, especially among high-risk ischemic stroke patients as a further strategy alongside conventional treatment.

Vorapaxar is a novel platelet inhibitor that potently and selectively inhibits thrombin-mediated platelet activation without interfering with thrombin-mediated cleavage of fibrinogen via antagonism of the platelet proteinase-activated receptor PAR1. Vorapaxar is a non-peptide himbacine analogue that has been developed for the reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction or peripheral arterial disease.

Discovery of the central role of platelets in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and ischaemic complications of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) has led to the widespread use of oral and parenteral platelet inhibitors to treat these conditions. Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa (also known as α(IIb)β(3)) receptors on the surface of platelets play an essential role in platelet aggregation and serve as a key mediator in the formation of arterial thrombus. When activated, GP IIb/IIIa receptors bind to fibrinogen, which serves as the 'final common pathway' in platelet aggregation.

The novel RGDF mimetics were synthesized with the use of 4-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-yl)amino-4-oxobutyric or 5-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-yl)amino-5-oxopentanoic acids as a surrogate of Arg-Gly motif. The synthesized compounds have demonstrated a high potency to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro and to block FITC-Fg binding to alpha(IIb)beta(3) on washed human platelets.
